LABOUR’S PLAN FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

Ed Miliband
has recently launched #ShapeYourFuture - Labour’s plan for the next
generation.

#Shapeyourfuture
will put the ideas and aspirations of young people at the heart of Labour’s
plans for the general election and for government.

New figures
published this week show almost one million voters have disappeared from the
Electoral Register in the last year, particularly in towns and cities with
large numbers of students and young people.

Ed Miliband
has urged them to find their voice and make themselves heard in May’s crucial
election for their generation.

The Tories
and Lib Dems have betrayed young people by trebling tuition fees, scrapping the
EMA and leaving 750,000 young people unemployed.

This General
Election is not only a chance to hold leaders to account, but also an
opportunity for young people to shape their future with better policies on
housing, jobs and pay.

The
consultation will run from Friday 16 January to Monday 16 February, including
lots of activity on National Voter Registration Day on Thursday 5
February. I’m calling on as many local young people as possible to
participate in the consultation by visiting www.labour.org.uk/shapeyourfuture
and by tweeting their ideas on the hashtag #ShapeYourFuture.
